《雙影》金寶山首映
2018.08.19 19:30於金寶山園區，
17:30於台北當代藝術中心集合，免費接駁。
此次於金寶山園區舉辦的戶外放映會，是英國藝術家喬治‧克拉克（George Clark）35毫米影像新作於台灣的首映會。此作品源於智利導演拉烏‧盧伊茲（Raúl Ruiz，1941-2011）未完成的作品《影子喜劇》（The Comedy of Shadows），因此我們選擇在盧伊茲逝世7週年紀念日這天，在《影子喜劇》的原拍攝地舉行這場特映會。
克拉克的作品在智利與台灣拍攝，思考著未完成計畫與政治史的迴響，回應盧伊茲的生命與作品、智利為時短暫的社會主義政治組織人民團結聯盟（Unidad Popular），以及盧伊茲與台灣和中國的連結。《雙影》試圖將戲院空間作為立於過去與當下之間的放映點。運用台灣慶典電影放映的傳統，這個特映活動將與傳統廟會電影放映師合作，放映克拉克的35毫米影像作品。此次放映會記錄將作為克拉克藝術計畫的一部分，於國立臺灣美術館「野根莖─2018台灣美術雙年展」中展出。
